Leprechaun M319 side widows fogging between layers

[Edward1954]

Looking for information as to how to remedy this problem ? Also is this a manufacture defect that would be covered. My model year is 2017 and it has always been kept in shed and only on trips for 3-4 times at most per year.
Anyone else delt with this issue??

You double pan windows have a leak and moisture is between the panes. I have the same issue. I’m getting ready to order the parts and repair them. Below is a link that I used to learn how to do it.

Welcome to RVforums from Ely, Iowa. A couple things. Once you separate the panes the vacuum seal is gone so the performance of the window will be decreased. Also if the fogging is bad enough it can etch the glass and while you will improve the visibility of the window it may not be perfect.

Please post your results with photos. I have a couple windows I am going to remove and attempt to clean as well. They are small side slide windows

The video on the site I provided indicates that there is no vacuum in the double pane windows. The seal provided in the kit helps absorb moisture. Pretty interesting video.

I met the guy “Jeff Bolton” from DYI RV Solutions today. Very nice guy. Hey only lives about 15 minutes from me. Anyway, I got the things I needed from him to do the repair on my windows.

I should be starting tomorrow. I’ll let you know how things go.

Well guys I started work on the window about 11am today. I followed the video pretty close. One step extra is I remove the shades for the window. They were just too close to get anything on the screws. Not a big deal however.
I did have to push on the window frame a good bit to break the seal on the outside of the window. Twila was on a ladder making sure it didn’t fall out.
We got it in my shop on my work table and following the video opened up the frame and got the window out. It does take a little force to open the frame.
Took the widow apart like the video. Takes a little pressure though.
I used an oscillating tool with a puddly knife attachment to cut the seal. It was like cutting through butter. Then cleaned with razor blade followed by acetone.
After cleaning I put the glass back together like the video, however I did not bother with the taping. I just smoothed it with my finger.
I’m letting it cure overnight before installing the glass in the frame.
